I am ready.

Persons, other than  those whose name is included in  list, willing to
work for development are also requested to express their willingness.

How to  proceed. Do these person  have a separate mailing  list, where
they  can  interact without  interfering  too  much on  TUGIndia  with
development and related issues? Can  sourceforge be useful. We need to
know what is the skill set of persons involved and what he want to do?

To  start with  we  may prepare  a "Wish  List". List  members may  be
requested  to express  their wihses,  what  they want  more from  TeX/
LaTeX. Chances  are that  there may  some package  already to  fulfill
one's wish. Getting  that information, on  compiling it may be  a good
source  of  information. And  from  unfulfilled list  of  wishes,  new
development project may be started.
